Chapter 311: Familiarization

“Don’t come closer yet. I haven’t fully mastered my current strength, and I’m not familiar enough with it. I don’t want to accidentally hurt you.”

Seeing Reese trying to approach, Helag quickly stopped her.

Reese understood immediately, halting her steps and moving aside without coming any closer.

Helag stood in place, taking a deep breath that stirred the air around him.

His breathing alone sounded like rolling thunder, exuding an intimidating aura.

He began performing a series of unusual movements, his limbs positioned awkwardly.

These were movements from the Earth Breathing Technique.

While they no longer had much effect on his body, they greatly helped Helag quickly become familiar with and control his current strength.

These movements were designed to train the body and unleash its potential.

Each movement involved multiple muscle groups, with precise force and direction.

After starting the Earth Breathing Technique, Helag quickly saw results.

Just one set of movements made him much more familiar with his strength, allowing him to control it more freely.

Seeing the clear effect, Helag continued with the Earth Breathing Technique.

After completing ten sets, he had fully adapted to his current strength.

His breathing was steady, and the sound of his breaths had become almost imperceptible.

This marked his complete mastery of his current physical strength.

Initially, his breathing had been thunderous, stirring the air due to his lack of control.

Now, his breathing was as calm as ever, indistinguishable from his normal state.

Helag then took a longsword from his spatial ring and began practicing the sword techniques he had learned.

He used the swordplay to further familiarize himself with his strength.

Helag estimated that this process would take some time.

He planned to spend a month fully mastering his body’s strength, ensuring he could control it with precision in combat.

In battle, even slight deviations in strength could lead to drastically different outcomes.

Helag needed to ensure his control was as precise as possible.

This was no joke—combat situations could change in an instant, and there was no room for error.

As Helag swung the longsword, it whistled through the air.

With his current strength, even a second-level wizard would be cut in half if struck—this was beyond what an ordinary body could withstand.

Additionally, his speed had increased significantly.

Initially, Reese could see the sword’s movements, but soon it became a blur, and eventually, it seemed to slow down again.

Reese knew this wasn’t because Helag had slowed down; rather, he had reached the peak of his speed.

She was genuinely happy for Helag, hoping he would grow stronger and stronger.

***

A month passed quickly, with Helag spending each day familiarizing himself with his strength.

He had now fully adapted to his body’s state after using the Power of the Titan, mastering his physical strength completely.

In the bustling Cavat Commercial District, the streets were lively and crowded.

Reese held Helag’s arm as they strolled down the street.

After a month of secluded training, Helag was finally out to enjoy the fresh air and spend time with Reese.

Helag’s plan was to continue taking on tasks from Seranthiel to accumulate more contribution points.

Contribution points were highly valuable, allowing him to exchange for high-value resources.

While these resources could be obtained outside Seranthiel, it was extremely difficult.

Within Seranthiel, the organization had already solved the supply chain issues.

Helag’s task was to accumulate contribution points and exchange them for resources.

With the Power of the Titan, his strength had increased significantly, giving him more confidence in completing tasks.

While previous tasks hadn’t posed any real danger, there was no guarantee for the future.

In the Land of Dawn, caution was essential.

Helag planned to focus on tasks related to Abyssal cultists, as they offered quicker contribution point rewards.

He had an innate advantage in dealing with Abyssal cultists, making him more efficient.

As Helag and Reese walked down the street, chatting and laughing, Helag’s smile briefly faltered before returning to normal.

Reese noticed the change in his expression and quietly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Helag smiled. “Nothing, just noticed something unusual.”

He had spotted a child in the crowd with his left hand in his pocket.

As the child passed a well-dressed middle-aged woman, his hand glowed briefly, and the woman’s gemstone necklace vanished.

The process was swift, and the necklace disappeared without a trace.

The woman continued walking, unaware of what had happened.

The bustling commercial district was crowded, with people constantly jostling each other.

Using Deep Blue’s environment detection, Helag saw that the necklace was now in the child’s pocket.

After stealing the necklace, the child ducked through the crowd and quickly disappeared.

His small stature made him hard to spot, and he vanished into the sea of people.

In the Land of Dawn, many people had wizard potential, and naturally, many knew spells.

With so many people using spells, the uses for magic had expanded.

Beyond conventional spells, there were all sorts of strange and unusual spells.

Some spells enhanced certain aspects of daily life.

Helag had seen many such spells in the library and heard about them often.

While he didn’t need them, others did.

Where there was demand, there was a market, and some people specialized in developing such spells.

Among these were spells for theft.

Many wizards made a living by stealing valuable items, using various complex methods that were hard to guard against.

Despite efforts to combat this, new theft spells constantly emerged.

Thieves were selective in their targets, choosing carefully.

They avoided powerful wizards, never getting close.

Instead, they targeted weaker wizards, wizard apprentices, or simply stole from ordinary people.

This approach had a high success rate and was less likely to be noticed.
